Y Combinator has openly supported Europe’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) in a letter to the Trump administration, urging the U.S. to embrace legislation that aims to limit Big Tech’s market power and promote interoperability, benefiting American innovation. The accelerator sees the DMA as a way to create opportunities for American startups and prevent Big Tech from restricting competition. YC’s endorsement of the DMA aligns with its support of “Little Tech” and highlights the growing influence of tech-aligned VCs in Washington. The Trump administration’s response to the DMA remains uncertain, given conflicting signals regarding American tech companies and European regulations.
